Sheridan Vintage Silver-Plated Tilting Teapot Set with Burner

This is an elegant and highly decorative vintage silverplate tilting teapot or kettle on a warming stand, likely produced by the renowned Sheridan Silver Co. This type of server was traditionally used for the refined service of tea, hot water, or coffee, using the included spirit burner underneath to keep the contents warm.The piece is ornately designed, featuring intricate detailing on the teapot body, lid finial, and the scrolling framework of the stand. This elaborate style is characteristic of Victorian or late Art Nouveau influences, making it a dramatic centerpiece or addition to a formal dining or home décor setting. The pot is designed to tilt smoothly on its frame for easy pouring.Condition SummaryThis item is in excellent preowned vintage condition. As is common with older silverplate pieces, it exhibits a natural patina across its surface. This includes some dark patina on the top of the teapot lid and other areas, which adds vintage character. In a couple of areas, the

color is beginning to show a greenish tinge; these areas do not significantly distract from the overall aesthetic. We have not attempted to polish the silver to allow the buyer to decide on their preferred level of patina. The only other observed imperfection is a small indent on the base, which does not impact function or significantly distract from the overall display. Buyer should review all photos prior to purchase to ensure comfortability with the preowned condition.MeasurementsApproximate Total Height (on stand): 38.1 cm (15.0 inches) Approximate Width (handle to spout): 22.86 cm to 24.13 cm (9.0 to 9.5 inches)
